The Z10 launched in the US in March, and is now selling for $100
on Verizon and AT&T or $50 on AT&T if you buy it through
Best Buy.

The Z10 originally sold for $200.

The price drop follows news that the BlackBerry Z10 hasn't been
selling very well. When BlackBerry reported its earnings for the
first full quarter of the Z10's availability, it said it only
sold 2.7 million devices running BlackBerry
10. (Some of those
sales include
the BlackBerry Q10, the new BlackBerry phone that has a
keyboard. That phone launched later in the quarter. Either way,
the new BlackBerry 10 operating system isn't taking off very
quickly.)

The second bit of bad news: Bloomberg
reported that BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins is cracking down
on executive performance, and setting lofty goals for smartphone
sales and subscribers. Executives who don't meet those goals
could be fired. That news comes after we learned
BlackBerry fired its head of US sales among reports that the
Z10 wasn't selling very well in the country.
